Cooking Time: 10 minutes 

Ingredients

5 bunches Bok choy

Sea salt to taste 

Garlic Sauce

2 tablespoons oyster sauce 

2 tablespoons soy sauce 

1 tablespoon Chinese cooking wine 

1 tablespoon white sugar or honey 

½ teaspoon ground white pepper 

2/3 cup chicken stock

2 teaspoons sesame oil 

2 teaspoons corn flour 

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 

8 cloves garlic, peeled, finely chopped 

8 sprigs fresh coriander to garnish

METHOD

In a mixing bowl combine the oyster sauce, soy sauce, cooking wine, sugar, pepper, chicken stock, sesame oil and cornflour. Whisk until combined. 

Heat a wok or frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the oil and stir fry the garlic for 1–2 minutes, then pour in the sauce mixture. Bring up to a simmer and allow to reduce for 3–4 minutes, or until glossy. Set aside and keep warm. 

Slice the Bok choy in half then wash well to remove any dirt. Bring a large pot of salted water up to the boil. Blanch the Bok choy for 1–2 minutes, or until just cooked. Remove with a slotted spoon and allow to drain then arrange on a serving plate. 

Spoon the garlic sauce over the Bok choy then garnish with coriander before serving.
